GB

34 KHS 3704 | KHS 5204 | KHS 8552

Safety instructions

and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed.

■

Keep electrical tools out of

the rain and away from

moisture. Water getting into

an electrical tool increases the

risk of an electric shock.

■

Do not use the connection

cable for incorrect

purposes such as carrying

the electrical tool, hanging

it up or for pulling the plug

out of the socket. Keep the

connection cable away from

heat, oil, sharp edges and

moving parts. Damaged or

tangled connection cables

increase the risk of electric

shock.

■

If you are working outside

with a power tool, only use

extension cables that are

also suitable for outside.

Using an extension cable that

is suitable for outside

decreases the risk of electric

shock.

■

If the operation of the power

cannot be avoided, use a

fault current circuit breaker.

Using a fault current circuit

breaker decreases the risk of

electric shock.

3.7 Use and handling of the

electrical tool

■

Do not overload the power

tool. Use the appropriate

power tool for the job you

are doing. Using the

appropriate power tool will

enable you to work more

effectively and safely in the

specified performance range.

■

Do not use a power tool if it

has a defective switch. A

power tool that can no longer

be switched on or off is

dangerous and must be

repaired.

■

Disconnect the plug from

the socket and/or remove

the battery before you make

adjustments to the

appliance, replace parts or

put the power tool away.

This precautionary measure

will prevent the power tool

from starting inadvertently.

■

Keep unused power tools

out of the reach of children.

Do not allow people to use

the power tool if they are

not familiar with it or have

not read these instructions.

Power tools are dangerous if

they are used by

inexperienced people.

462706_l 35

Safety instructions

■

Look after power tools and

the insertion tool with care.

Check whether moving

parts function perfectly and

do not stick, whether there

are any broken parts or

parts that are damaged in

such a way that the function

of the power tool is

impaired. Have damaged

parts repaired before using

the power tool. Many

accidents are caused by

failure to maintain power tools

properly.

■

Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean. Carefully

maintained cutting tools with

sharper cutting edges are less

likely to stick and are easier to

control.

■

Use power tools,

accessories, insertion tools,

etc. according to these

instructions. When doing

so, take account of the

working conditions and the

activity to be undertaken.

Using power tools for

applications other than the
